The Bell Jar – OMG Check It Out ! https://omgcheckitout.com Tue, 20 Aug 2019 05:44:23 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 Kirsten Dunst No Longer Directing “The Bell Jar” Movie Adaptation https://omgcheckitout.com/kirsten-dunst-no-longer-directing-the-bell-jar-movie-adaptation/ Mon, 19 Aug 2019 05:34:50 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=33498 Kirsten Dunst is no longer at the helm of the big-screen adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s novel, The Bell Jar. 

Entertainment Weekly reported that the 37-year-old actress is no longer attached to direct the feature. Dunst confirmed the news herself in a recent interview with EW. 

“I never owned [the rights], so it went away for me. It went to other hands,” Dunst said. “That’s not in my hands anymore.” 

She continued: “This is the first year I’ve been a mom. Directing a film and having a baby… that’s two years of your life, directing, editing, and promoting all of it. Maybe when I’m older I’ll want to again. Right now, I have zero interest in committing myself to that.”

A source close to the project later added that Dakota Fanning is still involved in a version of The Bell Jar currently in development as a Showtime limited series.

Dunst most recently worked on On Becoming a God in Central Florida, in which she stars opposite George Clooney and Grant Heslov as well as serving as producer.
